I did several things to study before taking my nclex-pn:

1. I did at least 100-120 questions for almost 2 months & I read every rationale afterwards whether or not I got the question right (I did about 3000+ questions by the time I took my exam).

2. For every question I did miss, I read up on the subject to get a better understanding of why I missed the question.

3. I made flashcards on lab values that I would go over every night.

4. I also made posters of diagnostic testing procedures (such as what to do with the patient before & after the test) & made sure to look at those every night before I went to bed.

5. I looked at & memorized the infection control mnemonics that you can find on this site.

6. ….& last but not least, I prayed everyday while studying & right before my test that I would pass.

Keep studying hard, don’t ever give up, pray, & you’ll pass soon!

Good luck! :)

Yes you have great advice above, start all over again as if you have never studied before.
